UK to submit Brexit bill plan by December

Britain will submit its proposals on how to settle its financial obligations to the European Union before an EU Council meeting next month, finance minister Philip Hammond says.

British Prime Minister Theresa May was told on Friday that there was more work to be done to unlock Brexit talks, as the European Union repeated an early December deadline for her to move on the divorce bill.

"We will make our proposals to the European Union in time for the council," Hammond told the BBC on Sunday.
